After the 27th Amendment, first proposed in 1789, was ratified in 1992, Congress passed a law to reform the amendatory process. You might want to research that law, because I understand it was poorly written.
The late John Armour, aka FReeper "Congressman Billybob", once told me that the law discharged all petitions submitted since 1790. That would in fact mean that the current count is zero.

Alright, but all of those petitions would have been discharged on some particular date. There have been petitions submitted to Congress since then. From what I've been reading lately, over 30 states have recently submitted petitions to Congress to convene an Article V convention.
If Congress is going to stonewall that process, then this whole effort is for naught, and the people will have to resort to other means to impose their will on this lawless government.
